trying to install the hyper 212 evo on a asrock ab350m pro4 mobo.
a-series amd processor.
the included cm backplate doesn't line up at all, and the standoffs won't fit in the mobo backplate holes.
can i install the cooler by screwing the x-bracket directly into the mobo backplate without the standoffs?
at this point, that's the only way i can get anything to line up.

Hey guys, the Hyper 212 Evo backplate did not fit my Gigabyte Gaming 3 AB350 motherboard so I installed the standoffs to the original backplate and the rest of installation went smooth. Is there anyway this could damage my system? Thanks

Greetings.
I run an Nvidia/AMD system with an FX-8350 processor with a Hyper 212 Evo as my cooling solution. I plan to upgrade my system to Ryzen soon and in preparation for this I ordered the AM4 upgrade kit and received the product today. I noticed that there is no back mounting plate that comes with the kit. The 212 Evo comes with a back mounting plate for AM3+ and LGA boards. So my question is, Will I need the original back mounting plate for AM4 or just what comes with the upgrade kit?

ok, I have a HAF XB EVO case, I got the cooler master MegaFlow fan on top. I'm thinking of switching up my CPU cooling solution *currently running a corsair H70 on an OC'ed Phenom ii x6 1100T that thermal throttles at 141F (60.5C?) when running prime 95 after 10 minutes or so* I plan on getting the Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo. I just want to know if I have enough clearance with the MegaFlow to have both or do I need to remove the MegaFlow or go with another Cooler Master poduct that will help keep my CPU as cool or preferably cooler.
more tech specs: Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T stock 3.3GHz/Turbo 3.7. OC'ed to 3.9GHz (just can't hit 4.0)
Liquid cooler: Corsair H70 closed loop.
Fans: stock front 2x120mm fans on the front intake. 1x120mm exhaust on the Liquid cooler radiator in pull config. 200mm megaflow as exhaust.
Temperatures: Stock idle around ambient room temps 70-74F (~21-23C). OC'ed Idle around 86F (30C give or take 2 degrees)
MoBo: Asus 970 Aura pro gaming
Ram: Corsair vengence 4x4GB
What I'm looking for is if I have the clearance to have both the megaflow fan AND the Hyper 212evo CPU cooler, or do I need to take the fan out, or look for another cooling solution.

Hello, I just finished my first pc build and I chose to install the Hyper 212 Evo as my cpu cooler. My motherboard is an asus Z97-Pro (wifi). When I first booted my computer I get the CPU Fan error which made me go into Bios to try and solve it. When I go into bios, it doesnt even detect the cpu fan speed. My cooler is working but I want to know how I can find a way for my system to register the fan and be able to monitor the cpu fan speed. Does anyone know what to do to fix this?
Thanks.

I bought a Hyper T4 off of Ebay (which was supposed to be a Hyper 212 evo!) That does NOT have the AMD lock level for Socket AM3+, which I need.
It looks like the CM store doesn't sell a kit for the T4. Would any of the other kits have a compatible part? If not I'll return it but it was cheap enough that I can swing just getting the lever. I do have a 212 evo on another machine and know that it is superior but I'm not planning on Overclocking this new build.
Any help would be awesome!

I bought a Hyper 212 EVO this week and it came with 3 nuts instead of 4. Nothing major but still pretty annoying since I'll have to go out and buy one. Is it anything special or can I just go get it at a hardware store?
